Maintenance
To Adjust Squeegee Pitch
1.
Choose a smooth, level surface. Turn "ON" the
key switch. Lower the squeegee and drive forward
at least 2 feet (60cm.).
2.
With the squeegee down, stop the machine. Do
not allow machine to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
3.
Determine the differences, if any, in deflection of
the squeegee blade between each end and the
middle. Proper adjustment is obtained when
deflection is equal all the way across the squeegee
blade. The bubble level should also indicate when
the squeegee is adjusted properly. When the air
bubble is in the center of the vial, the deflection
should be even across the squeegee blade.
4.
To decrease the deflection of the squeegee blade
at the ends, tighten knob near the squeegee
center. To increase the deflection at the ends of
the squeegee assembly, loosen knob.
5.
Check the deflection of the squeegee blades
again. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the deflection
is equal across the entire rear squeegee blade.
To Adjust Amount of Rear Squeegee
Deflection
1.
Choose a smooth, level surface. Lower the
squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet (60cm).
2.
With the squeegee down, stop the machine. Do
not allow machine to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
3.
Observe the amount of squeegee deflection. It
should deflect 3/8 in. (9.5mm) across the entire
width of the squeegee.
4.
To increase the squeegee deflection, turn the 2
knobs at the squeegee ends counter-clockwise. To
decrease the deflection, turn the knobs clockwise.
NOTE: The deflection should be consistent along the
length of the squeegee. If the deflection varies from
end to end the knobs can be adjusted independently
to correct the variation.
5.
Turn on the key switch. Raise, then lower
squeegee assembly. Drive forward at least 2 feet
(60cm).
6.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 until deflection of 3/8 in.
(9.5mm) is reached.
To Replace Aqua-Mizer™ Squeegee
Blades
These squeegee blades have two wear edges. To use
the second edge:
1.
Remove deck shrouds.
2.
Remove brushes or pad drivers.
3.
Remove each of the Aqua-Mizer™ squeegee
systems.
4.
Remove the hardware from each system that
retains the blade.
5.
Flip the blades and replace hardware.
6.
Re-install each Aqua-Mizer™ system, brushes or
pad drivers and shrouds.
